Mercury Retrograde Do's and Don'ts

Mercury's retrograde again. From November 6^th all the way to November 26^th we need to be careful of our driving, computers and our communication. Here's 7 things that are affected positively or negatively during the retrograde.

Setting up automatic deposits – While it's always risky to deal with computers and numbers during Mercury Retrograde setting up an automatic deposit into your savings account can be quite beneficial at this time. Just make sure you log it in your checkbook or you may find yourself short at the next retrograde.

Having furniture reupholstered – With the holidays are coming up you may be thinking to finally get that chair reupholstered but this is a difficult time to do something you want to come out right the first time. If you need it perfect you may want to wait until Mercury is direct in a few weeks.

Buying a new car – Mercury retrograde is probably the worst possible time to buy a new car. There can be so many things that go wrong between the car itself and all the paperwork and loan stuff. Don't tempt fate. If possible wait a few weeks and then go car shopping.

Getting back together – So your old girlfriend called and she wants to get back together. Congratulations. Mercury retrograde gives us a second chance to make relationships work. But proceed cautiously. She's the same girl who broke up with you last month and she probably hasn't changed.

Tutor for your child – Mercury rules communication and compulsory education and so Mercury retrograde is the perfect time to give your child a boost in those departments. If a tutor could help this is a great time to start.

Donating stuff to charity – While donating stuff is great, it clears out space and then you can get new stuff. However donating during Mercury retrograde and you run the risk of finding you need that item again in just a few weeks. Get everything boxed up and ready and then donate the items in December after you've had an opportunity to recheck the box a few times.

Signing a partnership agreement – Anytime you're working with contracts you need to be very careful during Mercury Retrograde. There can be much that gets overlooked in the fine print. There's one exception however. If you've been in the process of getting this agreement signed through a previous retrograde (three or four months ago) then this signing is just completing that energy and it's fine to move forward.

And it's Thanksgiving and so Mercury retrograde reminds us to check our shopping list twice. You don't want to forgot the sour cream or cranberry sauce.
